The Sound of Music

My day in the hills has come to an end I know

A star has come out to tell me it's time to go

But deep in the dark green shadows

Are voices that urge me to stay

So I pause and I wait and I listen

For one more sound

For one more lovely thing

That the hills might say

The hills are alive with the sound of music

With songs they have sung for a thousand years

The hills fill my heart with the sound of music

My heart wants to sing every song it hears

My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds

That rise from the lake to the trees

My heart wants to sigh like a chime

That flies from a church on a breeze

To laugh like a brook

When it trips and falls over stones on its way

To sing through the night

Like a lark who is learning to pray

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely

I know I will hear what I've heard before

My heart will be blessed with the sound of music

And I'll sing once more
